\"nightdrive\"<\/a>Something old, something new. The old rhyme acts as a guide for a blushing bride on her wedding day as she starts her new life. That adage doesn\u2019t just have to apply to so-called \u201cwedded bliss.\u201d In music, an artist can take a sample of an old song or even covering the track, then spin it on its head to make it their own.\u00a0 Thus giving that old, dated, track a new life. This is a trick that not many artists do well, but when it\u2019s done correctly you have a song that feels like it came out not 40 years ago, but just yesterday! For Texas-based, Night Drive, taking two elements of old and sprinkling their special seasoning of new on top brings the art of covers to a brand new level. Check out Night Drive<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s mashup of \u2018Whole Lotta Love\/Too Much Love\u2019 <\/strong>(Led Zeppelin<\/strong> and LCD Soundsystem<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Night Drive<\/strong> has in fact with this release re-invented the art of the cover song. Many of us are quite familiar with the 47-year-old song \u2018Whole Lotta Love\u2019<\/strong>. For the time it was a great track, but that was then. It\u2019s almost been 50 years and no one has even thought to tinker with it. Until Night Drive<\/strong> came along\u2026 Like true purveyors of electronic pop, Night Drive<\/strong> took one big dose of electric to an old corpse of a song; and just like Frankenstein\u2019s Monster! It\u2019s ALIVE AGAIN! Look, I know I used the term cover, but it may not be fair to call it that. It doesn\u2019t follow the typical cover formula. It\u2019s also not a mashup, just because they took lyrics from the 10-year-old LCD Soundsystem<\/strong> track \u2018Too Much Love\u2019 <\/strong>it doesn\u2019t make it one. \u00a0\u2018Whole Lotta Love\/Too Much Love\u2019<\/strong> takes two songs that have become quite dated and brings them to dance filled, 80\u2019s inspired, future wave party. It\u2019s classic, but modern.<\/p>\n

In the end of it all, this is how all \u201ccovers\u201d should be done. By showcasing what they do best, Night Drive<\/strong> has exposed their true artistry while bringing the lines of a classic to a new generation. It\u2019s not just another remake. It\u2019s a Night Drive <\/strong>original.<\/p>\n
